Major oil firms join Baghdad forum on Iraq’s energy future

Major oil firms join top energy leaders in Iraq this September. The Baghdad International Energy Forum will host some of the world’s largest oil companies.

The Iraqi Ministry of Oil confirmed participation from British Petroleum (BP), TotalEnergies, Chevron, Eni, and Shell. These global firms will attend the two-day forum on September 6 and 7 in Baghdad.

The ministry emphasized that this reflects strong international interest. Iraq offers rich opportunities for energy investment, strategic cooperation, and long-term partnerships.

Importantly, major oil firms join the forum not only to explore oil opportunities. They will also discuss broader topics such as energy security, sustainable growth, and green transition.

Senior officials from these companies will speak alongside ministers and global energy experts. Together, they will shape dialogue around the future of Iraq’s energy markets.

The State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) is organizing the event. Their goal is to strengthen international collaboration and open new pathways for innovation in the sector.

Although Iraq remains a major oil producer, the country is seeking to diversify. Therefore, the forum will highlight Iraq’s role in renewable energy and sustainable development.

Discussions will also address global oil market trends. As the world shifts toward cleaner energy, Iraq hopes to balance fossil fuel production with environmental responsibility.

Moreover, the forum will focus on building resilient energy systems. Iraq’s government aims to attract new technologies and global funding to improve infrastructure and efficiency.

Energy ministers from several countries are expected to attend. Their presence underlines Iraq’s importance in regional and global energy discussions.

In conclusion, major oil firms join forces in Baghdad to reimagine energy cooperation. Their involvement boosts Iraq’s efforts to evolve into a sustainable energy hub.

The Baghdad International Energy Forum is more than a conference. It marks a turning point in how Iraq positions itself in the global energy landscape.
